As a football fan I recently visited a new website called F8ballNews, I was delighted to see the site has fully embraced the concept of Web 2.0 by providing a social network for global football fans. The site combines an up to date news facility from football clubs around the world, the site also includes an interactive, user-friendly chat interface. The concept of Web 2.0 was initially born from a meeting between Tim O’ Reilly and MediaLive International, the results of this meeting were visionary. Their interpretation was, that far from the internet ‘crashing’ when the dot-com bubble burst in 2001, it was in fact flourishing with new websites and applications appearing on a regular basis. The results of this meeting turned out to be true, however at the time they were scorned.

The introduction of social networking sites is a major aspect of Web 2.0, you will no doubt have heard of the major players in this industry, such as; Stumbleupon, MySpace and Facebook. These sites are growing at such an alarming rate that is it forecast they could well be bigger than Google by the year 2015.

F8ballNews have recently launched their own brand of Web 2.0 by delivering a social networking that focuses on delivering up to date football news and gossip. I have longed to find a website like this, generally I have to visit around 5 sites to find out what’s going on in the football world. Now I simply visit the F8ballNews website where I am able to find out all I need to know. It is nice and refreshing to see F8ballNews pushing the boundaries by combining the ethos of web 2.0 with a sporting network, I personally believe social networking sites will form the corner stone of the Internet for many years to come. They are certainly user friendly, fun to use and they are a great medium for interaction and making new friends.

The interactive chat facility contained in the website is an interesting concept, I like the idea of exchanging my views on football with people from different environments and cultures. Football is truly a passionate sport followed by children and adults alike, it is strange that when my favourite team win on a Saturday afternoon it lifts my mood for the whole weekend. Unfortunately the reverse is also true, I remember even threatening to cancel my forthcoming wedding because my intended was laughing when my favourite team lost.

I certainly feel F8ballNews have been first to the market with their football based social networking site. I am sure the site will be well subscribed to by global football fans and webmasters alike. Currently F8ballNews are offering free membership to all of their subscribers. I imagine this is just taster for what we are to see in the future, in a few years time I imagine all sports will be covered by a social network.

If you would like to visit their website and have a look around for yourself, the address is www.f8ballNews.com

Here’s how I mentally approach meeting a new woman: I’m cocky and funny, I steal their lines, I tease them, and I don’t ever give them a break.

In my opinion, your most valuable asset, no matter your looks, height, age, or income – is humor.

I don’t care if you’re four feet tall and have one eye. If you can make women laugh consistently and get those good feelings flowing through them, they’ll love you.

I decided last year to start actually STUDYING comedy, as I’ve found that people (women) respond to it better than any other thing in the whole entire universe. So I did a bunch of research on the Internet to find the best books, and I bought about 5 or 6 of them.

One book that I read called Comedy Writing Secrets by Melvin Helitzer made a great point. He said that the majority of humor revolves around the character and not the jokes.

Most of the guys that I meet who want to learn to meet women are working on the ‘jokes’ in their life and not the ‘character’. I did it for about two years myself. I tried to learn all kinds of lines and B.S.

It finally dawned on me that women were not really that concerned with all of that… they wanted a particular character. The lines didn’t matter as long as they fit in with the character. Now that I have created this character for myself, things are all different. Women now call me. They pursue me. They want to be around me. It’s strange, magical, and weird.

So what’s the character that they want? Good question. I have a good friend who’s the best I’ve ever seen at picking up women in bars and having *** with them that night. Now, I do better getting numbers and following up. But this guy is just a machine. And his whole mindset towards meeting women is to be “cocky and funny” (his words). My opinion is that women are turned off by arrogant men, unless… they’re damn funny. This magic combination will attract women like Bill Clinton attracts chubby interns. I’m following in my buddy’s footsteps.

I’ll try to summarize the character that I’ve developed:

“I know that this girl is secretly trying to pick me up… I’m going to play hard to get, make fun of her, be indifferent towards her, and generally bust her balls as much as possible. I know that she loves a guy that is so sarcastic that it makes her nervous, so I’m going to really keep the heat on… and when she starts to show any interest at all on the outside, I’m going to blow her off and make her prove to me that she wants me… so I can reject her again.”

I do crazy things, like if I’m standing next to a girl at a bar, I’ll turn to her and say in a completely serious voice, “Will you PLEASE stop touching me?” And then look them right in the eye.

Or say, “What are you doing at a bar for god sakes? Can’t you find a nice normal guy? Or are you desperate?” All with a completely straight face.

I say things that make them actually think that I’m serious, but leave a shadow of a doubt.

Here’s what I’m looking for: If they respond in an insecure way and say, “Oh, I’m sorry… I didn’t know that I was touching you”, I’ll keep it going… and say, “Well, you did. And if you’re going to keep doing it, I’d appreciate it if you’d touch a little higher.” They ***** up.

If they shoot something funny back like, “Well, touchy touchy” and they know that I’m kidding, I just stay in character and say, “Yes, I don’t like being touched. So keep a foot or so between us please” and keep it going.

And yes, sometimes (not often) I’ll meet a cold one and she’ll get uptight – I just walk away.

If you’re going to do this, you have to remember to keep it going for the entire time… don’t turn into a dumb *** at the first sign of her liking you. Keep up the character, play hard to get, etc. forever!

You decided to make the first step and join a dating site but you are stuck in creating a sizzling online dating profile that women will read. So what makes a great profile? Follow these tips and rocket to success with your online dating life.

One thing must be said about online dating there is so shame in putting yourselves out there online. Don’t be embarrassed in fact a successful man will never be ashamed if he’s using online dating services for dates.

1) A well written profile:

First things first - use a word processor and spell checker. Nothing spells “loser” than a poorly written profile with misspelled words. This may seem obvious but I’ve seen profiles as though they have been written by 5 year olds.

2) Don’t write about past relationships:

Don’t ever complain about past relationships in your profile! Don’t ever talk about bad experiences and how you are now looking for true love. This is an absolute deal killer and no women will click your profile.

3) Don’t tell your life story:

Keeping a little bit of mystery about yourself will have them wanting to know more about you. It’s okay to talk about some of your hobbies and maybe some of your travels but never offer the whole picture. Always leave intrigue, women love men that have a little mystery around them.

4) Stay positive!

This is an absolute must if you want to score big with online dating you need to show positive qualities. For instance avoid at all costs writing anything negative about your life. Your profile must read as if you are having a great time just keep in mind if you begin to sound negative or boring how do you expect to attract women? Avoid talking about your job, past relationships and any past issues you have had. No one wants to hear it let alone read it.

Tip: If you love music talk about music, if your passion is art then write a little blurb about your favorite artist or your studio. Women love men that are passionate about something.

5) Use humor in your profile.

I can’t stress enough how important this is. Humor is an the #1 aphrodisiac in attracting women. So how do you pull this off in your profile? Inject some witty humor when writing about yourself or even the type of women you are looking for. It’s not enough to say you are humorous you must also display it when writing your profile.

There you have it! These 5 sizzling online dating profile tips will increase your chances by leaps and bounds simply because most profiles are weak and dull. Your profile will be a breath of fresh air and most likely attract the caliber of women you are seeking.

Your profile is meant to portray confidence, humor and intrigue. It’s no different with offline dating these are the major characteristics women look for in men. The same holds true online you are doing the exact same thing just in the digital world.

Jason Roberts asked:


If you want to get lucky in your love life, you’ve got to become convinced of one thing. That one thing is that luck has nothing whatsoever to do with it. You have to be smart, you have to be clever, and you have to be a good person who is open to romance.

Women especially can think that they are not able to get lucky in their love life because they’ve tried before and failed. More than likely that wasn’t about failing to get lucky, as much as it was about making dumb mistakes in their relationships.

Here are some of the dumb things women do to sabotage their chance to get lucky in their love life.

The first mistake that can sabotage luck in love is getting inebriated on a date. Especially early on in the relationship stick to one - maybe two glasses of wine.

Getting sloshed doesn’t make you witty or brave. It makes you loud, unattractive, brazen and more often than not, saying or doing something that will embarrass you and end the relationship.

Don’t get nervous on your first or second or third date and just keep talking and talking and talking.

That little Eveready bunny can keep going and going and going and it’s cute and he might still get lucky in his love life, but you’ll just look self-absorbed.

Share something about yourself, but spend more time asking about him and then be quiet and listen. With a little luck your love life will bloom from your willingness to be his confidante and your decorum in public.

Another thing that can be really tacky and not help you get lucky in your love life is to appear cheap. It’s okay to sometimes pick up the check or go dutch. You don’t want to appear like an over spender either, but always ordering the salad and water may make you look like a real penny pincher and that’s not attractive.

Another related no-no is asking for a doggie bag. Don’t do it until you’re way into the relationship, or until he does it first.

Discussions of bodily functions can really ruin the luck you might have stumbled into in your love life. There’s nothing like a little talk of constipation to take the passion right out of the evening.

The other thing that can really give you some bad luck in your love life is running other women down to him - especially if you don’t know who he’s dating.

Worse yet, no matter how much he trashes his ex-wife or ex-lover, never trash her yourself. You can sympathize and say things like, “I can see why that kind of behavior would be upsetting to you,” but if you say, “You’re right, she is trash,” you’re more likely to find yourself listening to him defend her. And you won’t look attractive to him right then at all.

You can get lucky in your love life only if you make your own luck.
